Finally got my birthday present from Anu and danitapgh. A new Twinview video card. Ok, quartz extreme makes all the difference in the world. Wow.
I really haven’t noticed much difference. I suspect having a better video card is making more of a difference than the 10.1 -> 10.2 change.
I suppose it’s possible that my processor is just fast enough that not having hardware acceleration wasn’t noticable anyway, but turning on Hardware Acceleration in Tropico definitely makes it noticably smoother. Of course, it also causes the porgram to crash on startup if you leave it on, and scrolling a detailed animated map around involves a lot more polygons than most stuff I do with my computer
I definitely noticed a speed ioncrease on shifting from 10.1 to 10.2. And even more of one when I put put the newer video card in. As for the speedup of hardware acceleration… I have one eXtreme monitor and one non-eXtreme monitor. Remind me to show you the speed demo.
